| 0:00.0 | Yeah, what I love just around us, what I love about Alani as a resort is that it is on a major, |
| 0:08.0 | you know, Honolulu is like the biggest city in Hawaii. I'm fair, I'm positive. And, but it is |
| 0:13.3 | close enough that you can go in and do all of these great things that we were able to do to visit |
| 0:17.5 | the North Shore. But you can go off and do all of these fun adventures off property. And then when you want to be on property, you're kind of away from the |
| 0:24.1 | hustle and bustle. And then it doesn't feel like you're at Disneyland or Disney World. Like it's, |
| 0:28.7 | it is a celebration more of Hawaiian culture than it is of Disney. Welcome back, everybody to a special Aloha edition of the DCL Duo podcast brought to you by my Path Unwinding Travel. |
| 0:51.9 | We are fresh back from Alani only about a week since we flew home. |
| 0:56.0 | In fact, a week to the day since we flew home, although did not get home until 3 o'clock in the |
| 1:00.5 | morning on Monday a week ago. But we're here. We're feeling Aloha today in this dreary, drizzly |

| 1:23.9 | How about you? |
| 1:25.3 | Yeah, just, you know, looking to podcast Aloha, as I like to say in Hawaii. All the signs of every kept telling you to drive Aloha. To drive Aloha. So we're going to podcast Aloha this evening. Let's start off, Sam. Why don't you give some folks some of the particulars about our trip?

| 1:48.2 | And of course, you've got to talk about the fabulous opportunity we had to get a tour of Alani from the Alani ambassador. |
| 1:54.3 | And also we were hosted at the Alani Luau this time around. |
| 1:57.3 | Yeah. |
| 1:57.7 | Well, so we went to Alani for two weeks over our son's Christmas break. |
| 2:03.6 | So we spent, actually, it was 15 days, not just 14 days. So we left on a Saturday and we came back |
